AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
410 PM CDT FRI MAY 23 2008

.DISCUSSION...

ONGOING CONVECTION IN NEBRASKA HAS MOVED VERY LITTLE ALL DAY AND
EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. DRY
AND STABLE AIR IN PLACE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
TO MOVE NORTHEAST. AS NEXT WAVE OF INTEREST ROTATES NORTH THROUGH CO
INTO WESTERN SD TONIGHT...AND THIS AIDS IN DIRECTING LOW TO MID
LEVEL MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE CWA. SO WILL
KEEP HIGHEST POPS IN PLACE OVER THE WEST TONIGHT. WITH STRONG WINDS
THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT...DO NOT EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO FALL
MUCH...WITH MOST LOCATION DROPPING ONLY INTO THE LOWER 50S.

ALSO OF NOTE...HAD A STRONG WAKE LOW DEVELOP THIS MORNING OVER THE
EASTERN CWA WHICH PRODUCED SOME SPORADIC TREE AND POWER LINE DAMAGE.
AROUND NOON ANOTHER POTENTIAL WAKE LOW DEVELOPED ON THE NORTHWEST
SIDE OF THE NEBRASKA CONVECTION AND MOVED NORTH. WINDS BRIEFLY
GUSTED TO ABOUT 55 KNOTS AT WINNER AND 40-45 KNOTS AT CHAMBERLAIN. A
NICE DROP IN PRESSURE OCCURRED AS THIS PASSED.

DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHERN COLORADO WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH NORTHWARD ON SATURDAY WITH EJECTING SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS. THINK WE WILL SEE OUR OVERNIGHT
CONVECTION PUSH OFF TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF
SATURDAY WITH BEST MIDLEVEL FORCING...THEN WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET
ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ON LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HINGES ON AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE AND DAYTIME HEATING WE CAN GET.
WITH CONTINUED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE REGION DURING
THE DAY...ADVECTING IN DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S...STRENGTHENING
LOW LEVEL JET OVER OUR CWA...AND AFOREMENTIONED WAVE PUSHING INTO
THE AREA...HAVE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE A
GOOD AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL CLOUD COVER OVER THE AREA DURING THE EARLY
PART OF THE DAY...WITH A MIDLEVEL DRY SLOT PUSHING ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY
OVER THE FA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS...AS MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY...THE QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER WE CAN BREAK OUT OF THE
CLOUDS AND CREATE ENOUGH NEAR SURFACE INSTABILITY TO GET SURFACE
BASED SEVERE STORMS GOING. WITH INCREDIBLE 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR OF
60 TO 80 KTS THROUGH THE REGION...0 TO 1 KM HELICITY VALUES IN THE
200 TO 300 M2/S2 RANGE...AND ML CAPE VALUES BY EVENING OF 2000 TO
3000 J/KG IN OUR SOUTH...WOULD HAVE STORMS THAT WOULD PRODUCE LARGE
HAIL AND EVEN A FEW TORNADOES. WITH THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE AMOUNT OF
CLOUDS ON SATURDAY...MAKES FOR A TRICKY TEMPERATURE FORECAST...BUT
HAVE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S AT THIS POINT...THOUGH COULD GET WARMER
IN LOCALES THAT WOULD RECEIVE MORE SUN.

ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WOULD MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA ON
SATURDAY NIGHT IN CONJUNCTION WITH MID LEVEL FORCING...WITH SEVERE
STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EARLY NIGHT TIME HOURS...THOUGH WITH A
LOWERING TORNADO THREAT AS INSTABILITY BECOMES MORE ELEVATED.
ANTICIPATE THAT MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL WIND DOWN OVER OUR
EAST EARLY ON SUNDAY...THEN WILL SEE ANOTHER CHANCE IN OUR SOUTHEAST
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH APPROACHING SHORTWAVE AND
SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA. AGAIN LOOKS LIKE THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE STORMS IN OUR FAR SOUTHEAST WITH DECENT INSTABILITY OVER THAT
AREA. WITH 850 MB TEMPS RISING INTO THE UPPER TEENS ON
SUNDAY...LOOKS TO BE A VERY WARM DAY...IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

FOR NEXT WEEK...NOT A SIGNIFICANT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WITH A
BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE INTO THE AREA. BEST CHANCE WILL BE ON
TUESDAY NIGHT...AND THEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR
TO JUST ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...

MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT STILL SOME RESIDUAL LOWER MVFR
CEILINGS...ABOUT 2000 FEET..AND THIS COULD BE A TREND AS CONVECTION
TO THE SOUTH BRINGS MOISTURE NORTHWARD. DECENT CHANCE THAT THESE
CEILINGS COULD COME UP SOME AT FSD AND SUX BY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL
NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS.

.FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SD...NONE.
MN...NONE.
IA...NONE.
NE...NONE.
